Billboard magazine, have reached the halfway point in recording their
new album, titled MASSIVE AGGRESSIVE, tentatively scheduled for an
August 2009 release on EARACHE RECORDS. The band are recording the
album at Red Planet Studios in Richmond, VA with acclaimed producer
Zeuss (HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL), who also produced the band's previous
album, 2007's THE ART OF PARTYING.
MUNICIPAL WASTE guitarist Ryan Waste reports from the studio with his
thoughts on the album and the recording process so far:
"We're in the middle of blazing out the new tracks from MASSIVE
AGGRESSIVE. I'm really proud of the speed picking on the new record. I
finish up my rhythms tomorrow and I'm pumped to celebrate after some
gruelling nights in the studio. Zeuss is spot on for this record and
we are thankful to have him in our neck of the woods this around."
"For MASSIVE AGGRESSIVE we are striving to capture elements from both
traditional heavy metal and hardcore punk. When combined, the two
genres can become a lethal formula. We're not afraid to bridge the
gap on this one."
Already having finished his drums, Dave Witte reflects on the
recording experience and what's in store for fans:
"This record is definitely shaping up to be the best we've done
easily, I've already banged out all my tracks in 1 & 1/2 days and am
totally pleased with the outcome...I think our fans are going to be
psyched with this record and I can't wait to play these songs live!"
Finally, vocalist, Tony Foresta comments on his studio time and why
his performance on MASSIVE AGGRESSIVE will be his best yet:
"I have about 3 songs left of vocals. I'm really happy with how things
are turning out. Zeuss has been pushing me really hard this time
around and I think it will show when the record is completed."
